a long way to go-(richard handwerk)
nyc songwriter
nothing comes to mind.
Story behind the song
turned out to be about christianity by the chorus, as well as other things.
Lyrics
such a long way to go-(richard handwerk)
I saw a woman on the subway train
She smiled at me, looked a little insane
Eyes full of hatred, was she thinking of?
Lord I want to know what happened to brotherly love?
(brotherly love)…
such a long way to go…
I seen a rich man in a limousine
Well he looked so cool, yea, he looked so clean
& so I wondered were our roles reversed
would I be so different, would wealth be a curse?
(be a curse)…
such a long way to go to get back to you…
there’s millions of people, their losing their way
they sacrifice their lives, & wait for the day
for you to come calling again
I saw myself, the truth was so plain
Caught my reflection in a mirror of shame
those grand illusions were all stripped away
my ego died ah but the soul remained
(The soul remained)…
Such a long way to go
To get back to you…
